This letter in today’s Irish Times is magnificent. Please read and share
Sir, – Micheál Martin’s hysterical over-reaction to the Israeli detention of Irish citizens participating in the Sumud flotilla embarrasses Ireland on the international stage yet again. These people were not innocent holidaymakers suddenly snatched at sea, but political provocateurs who desperately sought arrest and detention by Israeli forces. This event should be treated as the publicity stunt that it was.
The real injured parties here are the ordinary Israeli and Irish taxpayers who have to pay for the arrest and repatriation of these middle-class narcissists. The best way for this Government to stop the genuinely shocking humiliation and mistreatment of Irish citizens would be to focus on the homelessness crisis in Ireland, or the ever-growing hospital waiting list, and ignore the self-indulgent gimmicks of the anti-Israeli lobby. – Yours, etc,

Can anyone help identify this individual?
Or does anyone have dash cam footage from the Maynooth–Dunboyne road around 3pm today (April 3rd)?
He vandalised our honesty box, stole money, and destroyed a large number of eggs in the process.
We’d really like to identify him and have a word.
Please share far and wide — every bit helps 🙏

Imagine being the parent to one of these children 💔
This is life in Iran under the demonic Islamic regime.
Where is the UN, Save The Children, The Red Cross, UNICEF, Greta, Angelina, Mark Ruffalo and Pedro Pascal? Spineless antisemitic hypocrites.
Ahoura Safayi Rad is 16.
Arrested in Iran for protesting.
Now facing execution by hanging.
Not for violence.
Not for a crime.
For simply speaking out.
A child is at risk of being executed by the regime in Iran.
And once again, the world is far too quiet.
There is an empty chair at a dinner table tonight. A school desk is vacant. A bedroom is cold. Mahsa Saril, just 14 years old, has been stolen from her family by the IRGC. For the "crime" of asking for a future, she now faces execution. She is a child. SHE IS A CHILD. Say her name until she is home #IranMassacre
💔💔💔ONE MONTH AGO TODAY, WE LOST ANNE AND HER UNBORN FOAL 💔💔💔
Anne was left to suffer on the N4 after collapsing from exhaustion. Instead of helping her, those responsible repeatedly kicked her and then ran, abandoning her and attempting to hide their sulky trap. They fled toward Ballyfermot, leaving Anne in unimaginable pain.
Today we met with road police at Dublin Castle An Garda Síochána. The investigation is ongoing, and they have assured us they are not giving up. Neither are we. We are determined along with Gardaí that those responsible will be held accountable.
JUSTICE FOR ANNE & HER BABY 💔😡.
Please share this post to ensure Anne is never forgotten. Please support My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue, we will never, ever give up fighting for animals like Anne.

Anne, we are so sorry this country failed you. We promise you there WILL be change. 💔😡❤️

On 17 February 1978, the Provisional IRA's Belfast Brigade left a large incendiary bomb outside the La Mon House hotel and restaurant in Comber, County Down, near Belfast. The attack, commonly known as the La Mon restaurant bombing, has been described as one of the worst atrocities of the Troubles.
It claimed the lives of 12 people and injured over 30 people that had to live with the life changing injuries and trauma because of the scale of this bomb
There was an alternative to this , may our children never go back to these dark days this should be a lesson for us all to work hard together to make this country work , thinking of all the victims and families today 💔❤️ in the arms of the almighty 🙏
In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”
“Nonsense,” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”
The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”
The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”
The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”
The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why has no one ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery, there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”
The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her, this world would not and could not exist.”
Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”
Maybe this was one of the best explanations of the concept of GOD.
